New Parlor Guitars from RainSong
(Press Release | Posted 2003-09-03)
RainSong Graphite Guitars has introduced the Parlor Guitars, a new step in RainSong's effort to combine graphite-composite technology with traditional wood construction. This combination of graphite and wood is designed to deliver RainSong's Carbon tone and Graphite's strength and stability in an economical package.
The Parlors feature all-graphite soundboards handcrafted using RainSong's patented Projection Tuned Layering process. Constructed entirely without restrictive braces, the all-graphite soundboards vibrate freely to provide greater acoustic volume.
The back, sides and neck of the Parlors are crafted using wood. The Mahogany Parlor features mahogany back, sides and neck. The Maple Parlor features maple back, sides and neck. The Rosewood Parlor features rosewood back and sides and a mahogany neck. The fingerboard and bridge are made of rosewood. The instruments are coated using clear UV protective urethane with a satin finish.
An all-graphite soundboard will not belly, sink or crack with changes in the environment. The wood veneer body construction and the urethane finish, resist changes in humidity and reinforce the inherent stability and strength of graphite. The compact Parlor body shape, the 12-fret neck and the customized gig-bag make for a small and light package.
The Parlor models comes equipped with Fishman Classic IV electronics and a custom gig-bag. Suggested retail prices: $899 (Mahogany), $949 (Maple), $999 (Rosewood).
